be sure to add descriptions even if you think its obvious what it is. tell people what kind of flower it is, etc. and add more keywords. you should sell cards, just charge more

Photography Prints
you'll want a better scan of these, it should print, but it looks like it was enlarged a little.

Art Prints
they have strict printing rules, this one should be sharp, its soft, scanning these work best.

Hi Dyani ...welcome! Read all Mikes threads, do what he says.... do what Jessica says, There is a lot more information in the threads about marketing too. The site does not sell our work...we do. Continue to add more work...while doing as much marketing as you can.

Visitors don't mean anything since you can't tell whose visiting. Artists look at your pieces, but are not buyers. Bots visit your pieces, but don't buy. You could conceivably have 1,000 views and no sales.

Search these discussions for "marketing". There is a lot of information here.

You will want to set up an artist's page for yourself on Facebook and Twitter, for example. Don't use your personal social media accounts to promote your artwork.

on facebook you usually have to join a conversation, and friends of your friend may either friend you back. or because your a known person (your friends with their friend), they will friend you back if you ask. but that's a real pain. twitter is easier, just look for people, follow them and they usually follow you back. its a bunch of work, but those are the two easy sites.

Thank you for every one
I understand that it is not so easy to begin a business
It is interessant to know if there are really sales on this site and after how much time . One month, one year.?

there are sales, it varies between person to person and what you sell etc. people can make a buck or two, or many bucks, heck a whole hen house. though many may not talk about it because it's no different than any other job. the ones that make the most do a lot of work either making a lot of work, or advertising. or both.
